[spoiler] Are the spirits just being cracked open to get at the crunchy souls inside, with any soulless dead being denied entry in the first place? If so, it seems like there's rather easier methods to remove souls from their hosts. Maybe it's just cleanup so they don't have trillions of soulless dead clogging the place up? Or are spirits actually being dismantled for some purpose?

Message from ScienceandponiesIt makes me strongly suspect that shades and souls are different things, but then there's bits like finding souls between the teeth of defeated eaters of the dead. Or the glimpse behind Death's Door matching up with what we know about judgements and their dietary relationship with souls.

So what exactly is going on here with regards to souls and shades? Trying to sneak the latter out of the Blue Kingdom is highly forbidden, but nobody bats an eye at a few crates of the former.]]>Sat, 11 May 2019 21:24:09 GMT
